Performing Two Procedures Same Day

Question: What modifiers are required when performing both CPT code 67210 Destruction of localized lesion of retina (eg, macular edema, tumors), 1 or more sessions; photocoagulation and CPT code 67028 Intravitreal injection in the same eye?

Answer: As of April 1, 2018, there are no bundling edits with these two CPT codes. Submit 67210 -RT and 67028 -RT. Payment will be 100% for the first procedure and the second procedure payment reduced by 50% due to multiple procedure guidelines.
